Ethan in Cleveland

Ford returning from injury going into year 3 was the key and he has disappointed. Bringing back Williams was good move at the time. The only different move I make and many on here were posting in real time was to take C/G in round two instead of Basham.

Yes I know that was my point. Frazier is doing everything everyone else is doing. The lack of qb sacks is not scheme its talent up front. And a little bad luck as they get pressure but don't get sacks

I think they do everything you can imagine and more. They drop defenders in coverage and bring pressure from the linebackers. They rush Edmunds from the middle and from the outside. They stunt. I will say I can't recall a single jail break blitz where they send 7 guys and play quarters behind them.

Addition by subtraction. I would like to see more Basham and less Epenesa anyways.

Close your eyes and imagine just for a moment if that was a black WR that told the opposing coach to F off? Can you imagine the media comments about how the player needs to grow up, is immature, is hurting his team, needs to be taught a lesson, is a thug, or is a poor role model.

I dont know why either but he just makes more plays. Let Sanders and Beasley rotate in the slot. Sanders was getting open deep consistently and JA has found him at times. He can still be a weapon but Davis commands a few more snaps per game

Agreed Home game so crowd noise was not a factor. Relatively safe game to give him a shot at LT.

They had the highest number of players opt out last year. Maybe they take it more serious than others. Maybe like everything else BB does, the team is meticulous in practice to follow best practice to keep players healthy. Maybe it's just luck.

Exactly. They aren't trotting out Davis and Kumerow on third and goal against the Bucs. That said the OP is correct. Hate the fade pattern. Give JA options.

Kelly had Thurman Thomas and Kenneth Davis to score on the ground

So much for Brown at LT it seems. Hopefully he is good enough for RT. I would still most likely draft OT in the first round and move Dawkins to LG. However if a C/G falls in the first round I would take him and play him at guard for a year and keep Morse for another year.

If I'm Baltimore I franchise him for a year. They are in a SB window and overpaying the QB spot for one year will be ok. He is a very very good player but he is not worthy of a top 3 contract. Top 7 yes not top 3. If he and his agent were sensible they would take 5th highest contract five year fully guaranteed. Take a little less money but get 100% of it.

I couldn't help but look at the score. Are Bills dominating as much as the score suggests? How is Brown holding up at LT?

Obviously its not one loss. Its the fact the loss almost assuredly knocks them out of the playoffs.

I will put my reputation on this board against yours any day. That said, I am rounding in the hospital all day so won't see the game live. As other have said, it would be great if Brown plays a capable LT today. Opens up all kinds of off-season options for the OL. If they throw Doyle out there to start then they might as well take JA to the hospital now.

Hope so They lost to Jacksonville with a healthy JA

I've got a bad feeling about this game. A hobbled JA behind this nightmare line on a wet field. I think this will be the pivotal embarrassing loss that loses McD his job as the boos rain down from the crowd.

Hopefully Brown starts at LT and plays well enough for McDumbass to move Dawkins to LG

They are as good at run blocking as Epenesa sucks at pass rushing. Terrible pick. Hated it then. I thought it was right move to have him slim down. But he is simply not athletic enough to be effective in the NFL

But I read on here all the time never take a guard in the first round????

Bills need a dome because the weather sucks for the fans as much as it does for the players. Most players don't want to play in cold, rain, and wind. Most players are from the South or California. The chance JA is still playing with the Bills by the time the new stadium is done is really low. Hope they change their mind and build a dome like Minnesota

I get it. Some trade ideas seem off the wall. But trading two underachieving first round picks for each other is not out of the question.

Help me here. I would say Dallas, Seattle, and Tampa have better group of WR's - excluding TE's. Who else? Rams? Minnesota? Bills can't be less than top 6 in the league. Of course it can be upgraded. Every position except CB can be upgraded. But at what cost and what is the difference in the return on investment. I was fine with a high draft pick RB last year but I terribly misjudged the OL talent. If Dawkins can not return to form you are looking at replacing both guards and keeping an average center, an average LT, and an unknown at RT. Beane screwed up with the Ford pick. Set the line back three years.

My point was I would spend on a high priced RB if they have not addressed the OL. In this scenario if they move Edmunds, they must replace him too. Therefore any trade would need to bring them back a high end starter at DE or anywhere on the OL. Cutting Moss for another 3rd or 4th round draft seems like a waste of a draft pick. They need TE #2, maybe another WR, and a 1tech DT. Just don't see how they draft another RB in first two days of the draft three years in a row,

I think Edmunds sucks but I only trade him for a DE or high level OL. Yes I wanted Najee Harris in the draft, but at the time I thought Ford was the answer at guard. He is a bust. They can't afford a high pick or to waste trade on a RB. Must fix both lines at all cost first. They can survive with the three backs they have now if they had a better OL
